Of course unruly students should not be punished. One needs to look at the root causes and the capitalistic, patriarchal, homophobic society led by the evil ogre Bush that made them that way.

Liberals make for lousy parents...and school administrators, too, it seems.

I lived in the City of Evil for about 5 years, in the 70s.
I never EVER EVER recall hearing about ANY violence in the local schools.
I am so glad that after decades of liberal ministrations, they are now up to NYC standards.

Maybe the "repeat offenders" should have the police called on them for fighting in the schools. They wouldn't get away with it on the streets - why get a pass at school?

Stories like this are just the tip of the Public education iceberg. The system is totally broken. Please... everybody, get your kids out of public schools and into private schools that will teach your religion, or at least morality and ethics.

In Ithaca, they do get away with it on the streets. Especially if they are a minority, or engaged in a left wing cause. Its AOK in Ithaca to throw blood all over a military recruiting office or engage in graffiti calling Bush a Nazi or Hitler, or to even attack a white person. Ask BLL about it.

About 20 years ago, when I first heard of "home schooling" as a movement
I thought it was an radical, misguided notion.
Now I see how the proponents of home-schooling (and private schools) were just
ahead of the curve.

Solution: Form an ad hoc committee to study the problem, analyze surveys, and make recommendations.

Absolutely. I personally am not a huge fan of home schooling, as it is not very efficient and I don't think that the kids get enough social contact with their peers. However, it's still better than Public schools. I think that Home-schoolers should start to pool their resources and start small, possibly home-run private schools that would cost less than ordinary private schools.

I don't know if this is an example of that model, but I do hear commercials on radio about
The California Virtual Academies. William Bennett and some other "heavy hitters" are
associated with this venture.

Do you know of any facts/figures on how many people are opting out of public education for religious, private, or homeschooling?... or how the percentages are changing?
